Your favorite pop artist?
Depends on who you consider a pop artist. Pop is unique in the sense that it’s based on whatever’s popular in the mainstream.

The three major pop artists I listen to consistently are Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Craig David, and Usher.

I’m also a 90’s/2000’s boy band junkie. I particularly listen to the Backstreet Boys, Blue, Boyz II Men, Westlife, and ‘N Sync frequently.

(Backstreet Boys > ‘N Sync)

Your favorite song right now?
(Still trying to narrow it down to one… hundred.)

What brought you to Genius?
I came across Genius when I googled lyrics to a DJ Khaled song; can’t remember which one it was for the life of me; this was back when annotations were explanations, Genius was still Rap Genius, and editors relied on email and Facebook to communicate with each other.

(Read more about my story on Everipedia.)

Where are you from?
The ‘burbs of Kuwait. Peace up… K-Town sideways

What do you do for a living?
I write for a non-profit called Online Sense: a public awareness initiative aimed to educate parents, teachers, and kids on how to stay safe online.

Favorite part of Genius?
Learning. Learning new things about songs, artists, the Genius community, and how to use Genius in different ways.
